The Danish version of Monopoly is a game called Matador which was first published by C. Drechsler Papirvarefabrik in 1936. C. Drechsler died at the end of the second world war and the company was sold to the Swedish company Brio in the beginning of the 1970s.

The streets in the game are popular streets of Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. Along with the usual Monopoly items, it features a circular track.

The Icelandic edition is the first edition of Monopoly published in Iceland, prior to 1964, named Matador. The streets of that version are located in downtown Reykjavík, and companies include Loftleiðir and Flugfélag Íslands.

Trivia: When the Swedish publisher Alga lost the rights to publish Monopoly in the Nordic countries in 1981, they briefly considered designing their own Monopoly clone in order to fill the vacuum, called Monetär. Concept drawings of that game look very much like Matador, with a circular track.
